O = Ostentatious

I'm like to think I'm a fairly simple person.  I dress quite simply, I wear plain shoes.  I barely even wear any jewelry - my wedding/engagement ring and a simple pair of small earrings.  We don't take elaborate vacations, we really don't go far from home to tell the truth.

Speaking of home, it's never going to be on the cover of any magazine though, I do hope one day it'll will be the type of place where Jacob and his friends like to hang out.  I like to think it's comfortable, at least it is for us.

You see, I'm not in this life for the show, for the stuff.  I'm not here to have what my friends have, to do what they do, to 'one-up' anyone.  In fact, we've been working awfully hard to cut back and to simplify.  I don't have anyone to impress.  I'm comfortable enough in my own self.

I like to plan trips or vacations by where I want to go, what I want to do or to see, not based on the "go-to" places and I'm not a fan of recommendations because I typically am not looking for the same things as anyone else. 

We all know those people, the ones who laugh too loud, brag too much, dress too flashy and you can't help but wonder what they're trying to accomplish, what they're trying to cover up. I wonder who they want to be, where they want to go, what they're running from.  Most of all, I wonder what is so bad about themselves that they'd rather put on a show than to be who they really are.
